Tax on beer, eh? The never-ending story. What would Governments have done without it? Fought less wars, that's what.Actually, I got a bit of a lump in my throat, and I didn't realise that I was one of only 15,000 people who work in the British brewing industry these days. Good vid I think.Off topic, Ron, the Lovibonds 1864 has finished fermenting and is looking very good - it's hoppy!

I am fascinated by the Burton Union system. I thought the troughs were above the barrels, no? I've never had the pleasure of seeing them in person, but they look similar to other pictures I've seen of them, like on this blog:http://princeofwales.wordpress.com/2010/05/07/the-end-of-the-burton-snatch/
